I once read something somewhere that stated 33 as being the average number of strips webcomic authors will produce before quitting out of frustration/boredom/etc. I don't know if that's true or not, but it's always been in the back of my head. It makes today's strip, #33, a little special to me- I've made it this far and I have no plans of stopping anytime soon. It's heartening to know that I enjoy doing QC as much as I do. It's even more heartening (and very surprising) that other people seem to be enjoying it as well.

In case you missed the news on Wednesday, I am doing pre-orders until 10/28for Tip Me Or I Will Kill Again (TMOIWKA?) t-shirts. They are $13 including shipping, and can be ordered via PayPal or via snail-mail if you so desire. More info is up on the new Shirts page, accessible via the ever-handy navbar.

The cool part about pre-ordering is that it means I can figure out exactly how many shirts I will need to have printed. I am hoping to break even on the venture, but am willing (and preparing) to lose money in the name of providing people with EXCELLENT CLOTHING.

QC is still doing well over at Buzzcomix (I will only NOT say this if we drop out of the top 50, hehe) so keep them votes coming! You are awesome if you do so!

I was going to use this space to plug the new version of Mozilla Firebird, but since it seems to be completely BROKEN for everyone (including myself) I will wait. Come on, Firebird developers, why on earth did you release a 0.7 version that is actually MORE broken than the 0.6?

I think that's all for this week. Enjoy the comic and I will see you again on Monday!
